Franklin Christoph model 66 - the sky, the ocean, the earth

Next is a series consisting 3 Franklin Christoph pens.

First is this special edition arctic ice blue pen. My first fc pen also. The color is nice and so is the pen's overall feel. However, i prefer to call this arctic sky blue instead.

The second pen in my Franklin Christoph series, it is a prototype, one of its kind. It doesn't have a name, so i will call it the ocean. The blue represents the ocean and the white represents the waves. A 360 view shows it's calm to its turbulence.

The third pen in my Franklin Christoph series. Another prototype, one of a kind. I call it mother earth. The brown reminds me of soil, different layers, and stores the history of earth.

So the 3 pens add up to be
1) the sky
2) the ocean
3) the earth

And with the arctic sky blue which represents the sky, this is the ocean below it. Picture a view of the sea with the sky above. As the sky is bigger, thus it is longer.

 Good start for my fc pen collection.
